AntUSDT supplies no info on its web site about who owns or runs the corporate.
In reality as I write this, AntUSDT’s web site is nothing greater than an affiliate registration and login type. Hyperlinks to unofficial apps are additionally supplied.
Perusal of AntUSDT’s web site source-code reveals Chinese language textual content.
This strongly suggests a Chinese language admin or on the very least somebody fluent in Chinese language is operating AntUSDT.
That is additional supported by early AntUSDT advertising and marketing movies, that are narrated in Chinese language.
Two movies depict promoting billboards in random locations in Taiwan.
We may even have Russian scammers using a Chinese language/Taiwanese dev group.
On June twenty seventh AntUSDT uploaded a video to its official YouTube channel titled “ANTUSDT Cryptocurrency Mixer Awarded a prize of US $200,000 by the headquarter in London, UK”.
The video is your typical Boris CEO affair, that includes the standard forged of characters with japanese European accents.
The video does seem like shot within the UK, probably as a result of on July nineteenth the UK opened up as per its “Freedom Day” coverage.
The closest I bought to a pinpoint location was when the actors have been in a small convention room. An indication studying “Y4 Workplace House” may be seen by way of the window in sure photographs.
I wasn’t in a position to progress any additional than that.
Replace seventh September 2021 – A reader has supplied enterprise particulars for Y4 rented places of work in Kiev, Ukraine.
The constructing adjoining to Y4 Workplace House, the place AntUSDT shot their video, is the enterprise “Hub 4.0”.
Hub 4.0 additionally sells workplace area, with assembly rooms beginning at 300 Hryvnia (UAH) an hour (~$11 USD).
Right here’s the gate exterior the Hub 4.0 constructing, as seen on Google Maps (2019):
Right here’s the identical gate, as utilized in AntUSDT’s advertising and marketing video however shot from the opposite aspect (2021):
Notice that Y4 Workplace House hasn’t moved into the constructing throughout the street, it’s nonetheless boarded up within the Google Maps screenshot.
A full ground plan of Hub 4.0 is offered, nevertheless it additionally predates Y4 Workplace House transferring in.
I went on the lookout for the precise room AntUSDT used on the primary or second ground and couldn’t discover it. I then went as much as some home windows and famous the identical pre Y4 Workplace House boarded up constructing.
The eating footage in AntUSDT’s video was shot subsequent door to Hub 4.0 at “Italian from Beirut”.
Right here’s a shot inside from the restaurant’s TripAdvisor web page (Nov 2018):
Right here’s the identical seating in AntUSDT’s advertising and marketing video, shot from the alternative angle (2021):
The one distinction is the indoor tree has been moved in direction of the window, and the chairs in entrance of the sofa have been pushed again in opposition to the tree.
Collectively these photographs present conclusive proof that AntUSDT’s advertising and marketing video was shot in Kiev, Ukraine.
The take-away from that is Ukranian scammers are behind AntUSDT. The hyperlink to Taiwan stays unclear.
Notice that neither Hub 4.0 or Italian from Beirut are implicated. They’re third-party companies that don’t have anything to do with AntUSDT. /finish replace
AntUSDT’s Boris CEO is “Andy”, performed by this man:
I wasn’t in a position to pin down a reputation however “Andy” is a prolific inventory picture mannequin with a really apparent Russian accent.
Right here he’s enjoying a pilot, a man in a taxi and a household man:
On the time of publication Alexa ranks prime sources of site visitors to AntUSDT’s web site as Russia (33%), Ukraine (11%) and Sri Lanka (7%).
Russia and the Ukraine contributing 44% of AntUSDT web site site visitors helps the Russians working Asian devs concept.
As at all times, if an MLM firm shouldn’t be overtly upfront about who’s operating or owns it, assume lengthy and arduous about becoming a member of and/or handing over any cash.
AntUSDT’s Merchandise
AntUSDT has no retailable services or products.
Associates are solely in a position to market AntUSDT affiliate membership itself.
AntUSDT’s Compensation Plan
AntUSDT associates make investments cryptocurrency on the promise of marketed returns.
Returns appear to be lower than 1%, paid each 12-14 hours.
Particular ROI charges are decided by which cryptocurrency an AntUSDT affiliate invests.
AntUSDT pays referral commissions however I wasn’t in a position to confirm whether or not they’re paid on invested funds or generated returns.
In any occasion, AntUSDT pays referral commissions by way of a unilevel compensation construction.
A unilevel compensation construction locations an affiliate on the prime of a unilevel group, with each personally recruited affiliate positioned immediately underneath them (degree 1):
If any degree 1 associates recruit new associates, they’re positioned on degree 2 of the unique affiliate’s unilevel group.
If any degree 2 associates recruit new associates, they’re positioned on degree 3 and so forth and so forth down a theoretical infinite variety of ranges.
AntUSDT caps payable unilevel group ranges at six. Referral commissions are paid out throughout these ranges as follows:
- degree 1 (personally recruited associates) – 30%
- degree 2 – 20%
- degree 3 – 10%
- ranges 4 to six – 5%
Given these percentages, I’m leaning in direction of referral commissions being paid on generated returns.

Conclusion
AntUSDT markets itself as a cryptocurrency “mixer”.
Weak Anonymity” vs. “Black Cash”, which one would customers prefers?
Digital foreign money is definitely not utterly nameless (pseudo-anonymity), so the encryption mixer was born – ANTUSDT.
A cryptocurrency mixer is used to launder funds. Criminals run their proceeds by way of a mixer, the mixer mixes up the funds and spits out “clear” crypto on the opposite finish.
AntUSDT is a little bit of an odd bag. It’s the primary Boris CEO I’ve seen with Chinese language language components.
Many of the AntUSDT advertising and marketing I’ve seen makes use of the app, in order that appears to be the tactic of alternative to take a position.
Most likely explains why AntUSDT’s web site is barebones.
In any occasion Boris CEO Ponzi schemes solicit funding and pay out till the admins pull the inevitable runner.
AntUSDT’s exit-scam of alternative seems to be the inner shitcoin route.
Realistically although they may simply pull the plug on the app backend and simply disappear.
Quick conclusion as there’s probably not a lot to AntUSD. The fraudulent enterprise mannequin is as barebones as its web site.
Replace twenty ninth October 2021 – AntUSDT has collapsed.
The exit-scam mannequin they wound up utilizing was “pull the plug on the app backend and simply disappear”.
Replace 4th November 2021 – As a part of their collapse, AntUSDT has deleted their YouTube channel.
As such I’ve disabled the beforehand accessible hyperlink to the beforehand cited “ANTUSDT Cryptocurrency Mixer Awarded a prize of US $200,000 by the headquarter in London, UK” advertising and marketing video.
